To find the cost of paving the identified space, we first need to calculate the area of the rectangular space.
1. **Calculating the Area**:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Width} \times \text{Length}
\]
\[
\text{Area} = 9 \, \text{meters} \times 17 \, \text{meters} = 153 \, \text{square meters}
\]
2. **Calculating the Cost**:
Given that the paving company charges R22 per square meter, we can calculate the total cost as follows:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Area} \times \text{Cost per square meter}
\]
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 153 \, \text{square meters} \times R22/\text{square meter} = R3366
\]
So, the cost for paving the identified space is **R3366**.
